Ólafía Þórunn’s game continued to improve as the tournament progressed, in line with the improvement of weather, but there were strong winds in Nassau, this year so the tournament was shortened to a 54-hole tournament.

Last year the Pure Silk was Ólafía Þórunn´s first tournament on the LPGA and she made the cut and finished T-69.

This year she played so much better, despite windy weather.
